Topic: Best Drug Rehabilitation (Read 648079 times)

Best Drug Rehab (or BDR) is definitely a Scientology program. My son is the one we were discussing at the beginning of this thread. The BDR website is totally inaccurate and not what you get when you get to the program. The only "faith" you can choose from is Scientology. You have to read L Ron Hubbard books and do TR's before you can get any priveleges such as attending a simple AA meeting. Trust me - you do not want to use this place for alcohol or drug treatment!

I am SO glad your daughter (?) was able to find this site and get some advice for when you picked your son up from Best Drug Rehab! I hope it went smoothly for all of you. How is your son doing, if you don't mind me asking?

I believe BDR is a Narconon-in-Disguise, trying to avoid Narconon's bad reputation. Thanks so much for confirming those suspicions, and for posting.

The FTC does not handle individual complaints, but adds the complaints to their database for investigation and prosecutions when enough people have complained, so it is important for everyone who has been defrauded by a rehab to add their voice.

The IC3 provides information and refers complaints to the appropriate federal, state, local, and international law enforcement and regulatory agencies. They accept 3rd party reports, so anyone who has information about fraud can report to them.

I sent my son to the same place. Same complaints. If we are all in this same boat together, how do we all work together to get our money back, and close this darn place down? This is some crazy stuff!!! They are taking advantage of vulnerable people in desperate situations! My 17 year old ran away from the place! Thank God! He was only there for 7 days. I put the bill on credit cards, the credit card companies said it's not fraud unless they used the card without my permission. How do we ban together against this evil disgusting Scientology scam? Are there lawyers out there that have dealt with this before?

Unfortunately, it's not so simple. You do have a better chance of gettiing a refund because of the situation and time he was there but there are no guarantees. You can do a credit card chargeback but it has to be done correctly. Its a complicated process. I can assist you with this. Mary

Welcome to Tipping Point, Anewdawn. I hope your son is doing alright now.

How did you find Best Drug Rehab? On the internet? I believe that everyone who has been defrauded by this place should make a complaint to the Michigan agency linked in my response to cischroed above. If you found BDR through a web site, or an internet referral site, you should make complaints with the other 2 agencies in the post above.

You will need to approach BDR first about getting your money back. If you don't get it back from them, there are other steps you can take, which we can elaborate on. Each individual situation is different, even though the experiences and complaints are similar.

You can get good suggestions from ethercat and Mary.I would also urge you go to the FTC and complain about the fraudulent advertising and how much it cost you. They seem to take complaints from those who have lost money more seriously than from people who have only seen the ads on line. Maybe with more voices, they will listen and act faster.https://www.FTCComplaintAssistant.gov/FTC_Wizard.aspx?Lang=en

Hi Mary, I was modifying my post when you responded. I modified the post to make sure I was not distracting from the good work you do and just add my voice to the call for filing a complaint. When I find fraud on-line, I tend to report it, hoping that they will get enough complaints to expend the resources and act.

By the way, to you both!

I received your PMs. I will email you a questionaire I give to people to fill out and return to me so that I can have the details in order to help you know your options or to file complaints.

As I stated, it's not a simple matter when it comes to 'everyone' getting together. Each complaint has to be looked at on it's own merits. There are lawyers who take cases but it depends on which rehab, which location and the circumstances of the case.

Richard is a Scientologist. And is also notorious for using cocaine, heroin, pills and alcohol in the very recent past. He abandoned his wife and kids for long periods leaving them to fend for themselves while he partied it up.

Dean Kealoha who also works there is known to beat his wife. Repeatedly and in the very recent past.

Great role models and definitely worthy of running a drug rehab.

Payment system among the unconventional aspects of treatment center in MichiganFebruary 13, 2012 by Gary A. Enos, Editor

Best Drug Rehabilitation offers flat rate for residential services

[..]“They’re getting a result more than a number of days,” says Dan Green, the Manistee-based center’s senior director of expansion. At a rate of $15,900 for anything from a 30-day to a 90-day stay, Best Drug Rehabilitation appears to be avoiding the price shock that is likely experienced by individuals and families examining treatment options on both coasts of the U.S.

If medically supervised detox is needed for a Best Drug Rehabilitation client dependent on substances such as alcohol or benzodiazepines, the overall flat rate for services is $18,400. The program does work with insurance.
